Chapter 22- Magcon

JACK G's POV

Last night was so fun! It felt like everyone was just friends, nothing else, again. I seen the side of Emma that made her my best friend to begin with. Honestly, the last time I seen that Emma was that day we were sitting on the edge of the pier, just goofing off. I would do anything to do it all over again. Yes, I love her. Yes, I still will spend every waking moment trying to win back my spot in her good graces... but if anything, I just want to be friends again. I miss her more than words can express.

EMMA'S POV

I wake up to an empty bed and empty room, which is weird considering I went to sleep to Cam holding me from behind, tightly in his muscular arms. Just the reoccurring feeling made me shiver.

I slip out of bed and dig through my suitcase, placed on the dresser. Why I didn't unpack them yet? The dried whipped cream still left in my hair can explain that!

Today was my first magcon event and I needed to dress the part. I just need to fit in, even if I'm not famous for anything what so ever. I end up picking out a black crop top with white polka dots, regular jeans, black lace-up boots, and a black beanie for the day. Once I go into the bathroom and straighten my dirty blonde hair, and put on my usual make up, winged eyeliner, tan eye shadow, and obviously mascara; I head out of my room. I knock on the Jack's door, since that was the only room I heard voices in. Gilinsky opens the door and his mouth drops slightly as he checks me out.

"What?" I ask weirded out.

"Nothing, you just look hot as f*ck." He says blankly.

I fight off my giddiness to come off straight and still unforgiving, "I didn't come here to flirt, I just want to know where everyone is."

"Emma, can you please just come in? I really have something to tell you."

"Jack, stop! Just tell me where the f*ck everyone is!" I snap but did, honestly feel pretty bad. I was only playing the part, I didn't really hate him.

"Em! Just listen to me!" He places a strong hold on my shoulder and I whip out of his grasp.

"I don't have time for this." I mumble as I storm down the hallway and back into my room.

I take a deep breath, feeling so incredibly bad to have to keep acting like this towards the person I just want to be with the most. He needed to understand what he did to me was completely uncalled for. I'll eventually forgive him, I just need to hold it out a little longer. Besides, I needed to see what these feelings for Cam mean.

Earlier, I eventually did find the guys, who were all down stairs, eating breakfast in the hotel's restaurant. We all ate and then that leaves us to now, currently doing rehearsals in the hotel's conference room. The room was huge and all set up. To the right, all along the wall, there were 9 big, white, posters, side-by-side that had the 'magcon' logo scattered on them. Red carpets served as a sort of, 'red carpet' look as well in the areas. My guess is that this is where the meet and greets will take place. Along the back wall, was the large, black stage with one, huge magcon back drop behind the stage. The rest of the areas were empty and enough room for about 150 girls to fit.

I break out of my daze when a hand is placed firmly on my shoulder, I jump at first but look up to see Taylor.

"Can't wait for after the show." He breathes out in a sly, mischievous voice.

"What do you mean?" I question as his hand slips across my back, so his arm was now wrapped around me.

"After every show there's usually a couple girls we take back up to our rooms." He smirks disgustingly.
